Using QUIC backscatter to infer hypergiant deployment configurations
Guest Post: What can we learn about QUIC deployments just by listening to unsolicited QUIC traffic? As it turns out, quite a lot.
Noisy routers: Investigating the make-up of route collector data
Guest Post: An analysis of more than 80 billion updates reveals how ‘noisy’ BGP updates inflate MRT archives, bias measurements, and highlights the need for more careful interpretation of BGP data.
Exploring the blind spot of IXPs Route Servers
Guest Post: IRR-based filtering at IXPs often breaks the link between prefixes and their legitimate AS, allowing invalid announcements to slip through. This study measures the issue across many IXPs and offers actionable fixes.
Setting up Akvorado: A NetFlow analyser for your IPv6-first network
How to deploy Akvorado in a SOHO network to gain real-time visibility into traffic flows and improve IPv6 performance.
A day in the life of RIPE Atlas
On any given day, RIPE Atlas generates billions of measurement results, offering a comprehensive view of connectivity and reachability worldwide. Here, we focus on a single day to show how RIPE Atlas operates in practice.
Project IPv6-first: A case study in achieving an 80% native IPv6 SOHO network
Guest Post: How a modern SOHO network can achieve an 80% native IPv6 ratio by leveraging NetFlow insights to identify residual IPv4 paths and eliminate them.
The potential of erroneous outbound traffic
Guest Post: Network monitoring has traditionally been built around a simple assumption: Most problems come from outside. What can we learn by observing the traffic that leaves our networks — especially when it does not receive a reply?
Make this one change to prevent IPv6 routing loops in your network
Guest Post: Routing loops cause packets to circulate between routers. This can congest links, enable DDoS attacks, and ultimately reduce the stability and reliability of the Internet. The good news is that IPv6 routing loops are easy to prevent.
Demystifying performance of eBPF network applications
Guest Post: eBPF has been widely leveraged to improve network function performance. Can similar benefits be achieved for web servers and microservices?
